I’ve been using MS Windows 7 for 2 months and haven’t any problems. Of coarse, I don’t browse using the Internet explorer, I use Safari or Firefox. All my programs are running great, no crashes, no bugs, I’m pleasantly surprised. I want to see how many of you are enjoying 7 or how many of you are having your own personal nightmare, please leave a reply to this article and let me know how your MS Windows 7 experiences are going.

Thank you for stopping by,

If you ever decide to purchase a new PC

brettthetechguy — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 03:50:53 +0000

If you ever decide to purchase a new PC, please call me, I can save you money. I can refurbish your old system or build you a new custom built PC. Most PC’s for sale today come bloated with only trial software, they like to lure you in with those cheap prices, and a few months after you get your PC home everything expires and you spend over hundreds of dollars re-activating everything again. Also, big name brand systems have limited hardware compatibility. I’ve built custom systems that are over 8 years old and are still in use with only minor upgrades to keep them going. Most people purchase new systems almost every 3 to 5 years. I think it’s such a hassle to migrate all your files to a new computer and having to relearn how it all works on a new system.

Windows Computer Protection 4 Titles Reviewed

brettthetechguy — Mon, 04 Jan 2010 15:14:45 +0000

Through the years I’ve tried many programs to guard and protect my computers, not all programs have as many benefits as others. #4. McAfee is great at stopping everything including your computer from working fast. McAfee’s protection is amazing it scans everything, and is highly configurable, but in most cases it destroys computer performance. #3. AVG is another great title, first installation goes great, but watch out when it comes to upgrades. I’m also concerned when it came to the free version, my Norton’s found spy-ware attached to the AVG free. #2. Kaspersky is one of the best if you ask me, great speed and awesome protection. This program didn’t slow my system down, and it catches all the spy-ware, and asks questions when new software is changing the system, down side is the price. Last but not the least #1. Nortons this program has been revamped, completely rebuilt from the ground up, and you’ll love this, the company wanted speed to be it’s first priority! With it’s clean, fast, protection Nortons is the best in my book, easy to use and easy to upgrade, I found zero effort in protecting my computers! Many people have their favorites, what makes anything my favorite is it’s speed and ease of use!
